A few protesters tried to disrupt Sarah Palin’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference today. They didn’t last long: the crowd (and Palin herself!) chanted “USA, USA” at the occupiers as security removed them.

Fred Karger, openly gay minor presidential candidate, has filed a discrimination complaint against the American Conservative Union for not allowing him a booth at their annual conference. His complaint is likely to go into mediation, the last step before litigation.

Karger: “I am making history every day as the first openly gay candidate of a major political party to run for President of the United States.” American Conservative Union, which hosts CPAC, says they will review.
